The Sultan of Sokoto, HRH Muhammadu Sa’ad Abubakar III has revealed that it isn’t all Fulanis who are bad people as well as criminals.
His comments come after most Nigerians are currently on the necks of Fulanis with some labelling them as bad people.
These concerns and tagging by some Nigerians is as a result of some Fulani herdsmen causing problems in some parts of Nigeria.
The monarch revealed that as he spoke at a meeting of the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders’ Association (MACBAN) in Abuja.
In his submission, he said;
“I am a Fulani and I am not a bad man. I am also not a criminal. Those engaged in one forms of crimes or another are across the country. it is not proper to refer to any tribe to describe the crime perpetrated by individuals.
For example when they collected N10m where and how do you spend this amount in the bush? The money is back in the city, I have told the Inspector General of police to check this, we are not saying Fulanis are not part of the kidnappings as mentioned by the Secretary of Miyetti Allah, seven to eight kidnappers arrested are Fulanis, but that doesn’t mean ever Fulani is a criminal, no they are not.
We must put hands together to bring an end to this problem. We are going to approach the President to talk to our West African neighbours where we have Fulanis like Senegal, Niger Republic Guinea and Mali, to help us, because most of these bandit cross from neighbouring countries conducted their criminal act and run back.”
